Laina was a flower girl in Mark's cousin Billie's wedding.
She LOVED dressing up like a ballerina.




Her love of making faces comes from her father. I love it!

She made this....cut it out and colored it and taped it together... all while I was busy doing this upstairs.

don't mind Bodie in the background and Sutton with his pants down....
 






2012

















She can be very, VERY stubborn...don't know where she gets that *clears throat*... but her sense of humor and inquisitiveness makes up for any challenges that arise. She can just smile or laugh and melt her parents' hearts. She loves doing things. Crafts, coloring, playing, walking, riding bike, riding horses, shopping, baking, sending letters, playing with creepy crawlies, you name it. As long as she's doing SOMETHING she's happy. She doesn't get bored very easily though which is really nice. She loves her family and pets (Chester and Chachi) lots. And really, REALLY wants a horse but we said that the family at the Ranch and Aunt Fisha 'n Uncle Mike have horses so we don't need any, besides that, I think that the city may frown on a horse in our yard. :) And she has recently asked if we can get a rat.....ummmm.....  She loves to read and "do" school. She's a very good helper and likes to help Bodie and Sutton do their flash cards. She's such a blessing, our baby-girl, our sweetheart.

The pictures are just adorable of Laina. We are so blessed to have a little girl in our family! She is growing up so fast and is such a nice and well-behaved little girl.....Thanks to your good "parenting!" I never knew I could enjoy grandchildren so much!! I feel blessed since I only had one child biologically. I dearly love my other kids but have SO enjoyed these kids!!
